It depends on your screen. Full hinting behaves better on LCD screens, but maybe not on all, and not on CRT screens. So there is no real good default for everybody. (for example here Full hinting is way better than others).
i am using an lcd, and think that medium hinting looks better. and the gnome people seem to agree enough to make it the default, so maybe they know something more or maybe they just haven't really put too much thought into it.
I don't think this is a bug in any way, as it's only a default setting which is really easy to change.
i'm not sure this should be closed right away. maybe this should be forwarded to the freedesktop standards people to see if it makes sense to make a common font hinting default across desktop environments. thanks again. mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
